Pender County | The Pender County Board of Education will hold three public input sessions about the bond referendum on the November ballot.

Board members will hear comments from the community on three separate dates:

July 28 at Trask High School;

July 29 at Topsail High School;

July 31 at Pender High School.

All meetings begin at 6 p.m.

The Pender County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution earlier this month to put a $75 million school construction bond on the ballot. The bond includes $21.5 million to renovate Penderlea and keep it as a kindergarten through eighth-grade school, as well as funding to renovate Burgaw Middle, West Pender Middle, Cape Fear Elementary, Cape Fear Middle and Pender High and funding to build a new elementary/middle school in the Surf City area.
